I was/born to be blue
Ella Fitzgerald
Some folks were meant to live in clover But they are such a chosen few; And clover being green is something I’ve never seen ’Cause I was born to be blue. When there’s a yellow moon above me They say that moon beams I should view; But moon beams being gold are something I can’t behold ’Cause I was born to be blue. Bridge: When I met you the world was bright and sunny; When you left the curtain fell. I want to laugh but nothing strikes me funny; Now my world’s a faded pastel. Well I guess I’m luck - i - er than some folks -- I’ve known the thrill of loving you And that alone is more than I was created for ’Cause I was born to be blue.
